Zuppa di Pesce [Fish Hunter's Stew]

Fish Hunter, rather than Fisherman, since I didn't partake of any of the actual fishing, just hunting down the bargains at my local supermarket ...

I came away with some monkfish, cod, scallops and mussels.

At the time I had no idea what I was going to do with this lot, thinking most likely a succession of meals, but when I got home, I thought, "why not just bung it all into a pan with some tomato?".

... and so, that's what I did.

Ingredients

I decided to call this Zuppa di Pesce since it is in that tradition of simple Italian stews made the whole country over from whatever was left from selling off the day's catch married with simple local ingredients.
